"Your analogy is false because the two things you are comparing are not literally the same, dear sir!" is such a classic Internet discussion trope that it must have a name. If it doesn't, can I please name it? Maybe Perfect Analogy Fallacy?
But they couldn’t be further from different. You have to have a health inspector visit your kitchen just to sell food at all. You need affirmative permission from the government to sell food.
The original analogy was not about selling food:
> If I give away food I have a duty not to poison you. It doesn’t matter you didn’t pay for it.
If I invite you to eat at my house, there is no health inspector and no government. I'm just giving you free food. Would you agree that I have a duty not to poison you in that case?
True, yes, I agree.
If we aren’t making the business analogy though, then Neovim has even less obligation to produce a professional quality product. When you come to my cookout the expectations are different than when you go to a restaurant.
